5 PEOPLE DEAD TODAY AFTER AN ETHNIC FIGHT IN MILE 12 MARKET,LAGOS.

                 Today thursday,at least five people were killed in an ethnic tussle at the popular Mile 12 market in Lagos.The clash which grounded business activities and hampered traffic flow for over three hours reportedly started on wednesday night.Several persons including police officers were also injured,just as buildings were razed.The trouble started today thurday morning after members of the Hausa community in the market stormed the Agiliti area to avenge the death of a motorcyclist.Sources claimed that the unnamed motorcyclist was assaulted with a cutlass by a Youruba man and he died today morning.The deceased Hausa man had an altercation with hoodlums and as he tried to drive off,he unknowingly hit the woman.And following his refusal to part with ticket money,he was allegedly beaten up by the hoodlums who saw the accident as an opportunity to strike.But the news of his death today thursday morning allegedly reignited the fight with some mercenaries imported through the PSP truck.Vehicles were vandalised,shops looted as people rushed into moving vehicles just to leave the scene of the crisis because some young men were carrying away rams whose owners have fled to safety,while others armed with bottles,cutlasses and sticks took over the entire road.Firemen trying to put of an inferno were stopped by the hoodlums.It took the intervention of soldiers who came to the area in three vans before peace could be restored to the area.One more photo below.
